In most organizations, the strategic planning process is an annual exercise at best. It ensures that leaders pause at some point to take stock in their organizations, look out over the horizon, assess the external environment and establish their team’s priorities and goals. It’s a valuable process. However, it doesn’t typically happen frequently or fast enough to address the challenges and complexities of the present-day corporate world. That’s why leaders with strategic thinking skills have the edge in navigating organizational change. This article addresses the current scenario and realities of organizations and proffered some recommendations.

Este artigo apresenta a aplicação da metodologia do Planejamento Estratégico Situacional (PES) na Pró Reitoria de Avaliação e Planejamento (PROAP), e os primeiros resultados deste processo.  Entende-se que é necessário ressaltar que este planejamento deve ser dinâmico, e de um modo geral adaptar-se a dinâmica do ambiente interno e externo, e de modo especial à dinâmica das pessoas. Por este motivo tão importante quanto a realização do planejamento é seu monitoramento a fim de promover ajustes que aumentem a capacidade de realizar sua visão de futuro.   PALAVRAS-CHAVES: Planejamento estratégico, universidade federal, administração pública.     ABSTRACT This paper sought to present the situational strategic planning process, and the first results PROAP / UFT this process means that it is necessary to emphasize that this planning should be dynamic, and generally adapt to the dynamics of the internal and external environment, and particularly the dynamics of the people.

Objectives- To understand how university libraries are engaging with the university community (students, faculty, campus partners, administration) when working through the strategic planning process. Methods- Literature review and exploratory open-ended survey to members of CAUL (Council of Australian University Librarians), CARL (Canadian Association of Research Libraries), CONZUL (Council of New Zealand University Librarians), and RLUK (Research Libraries UK) who are most directly involved in the strategic planning process at their library. Results- Out of a potential 113 participants from 4 countries, 31 people replied to the survey in total (27%). Libraries most often mentioned the use of regularly-scheduled surveys to inform their strategic planning which helps to truncate the process for some respondents, as opposed to conducting user feedback specifically for the strategic plan process. Other quantitative methods include customer intelligence and library-produced data. Qualitative methods include the use of focus groups, interviews, and user experience/design techniques to help inform the strategic plan. The focus of questions to users tended to fall towards user-focused (with or without library lens), library-focused, trends & vision, and feedback on plan. Conclusions- Combining both quantitative and qualitative methods can help give a fuller picture for librarians working on a strategic plan. Having the university community join the conversation in how the library moves forward is an important but difficult endeavour. Regardless, the university library needs to be adaptive to the rapidly changing environment around it. Having a sense of how other libraries engage with the university community benefits others who are tasked with strategic planning
